RobotWorx' feasibility studies were recently highlighted in the May 2008 issue of Aerospace Engineering and Manufacturing Magazine. The article, "Robots Take Over," covers the increased use of industrial robots in the aerospace industry.
There are many reasons for this relatively new movement, but one of the main reasons is affordability. That's where RobotWorx' used robots and feasibility studies come into play.
One of RobotWorx' used robots is welding in South America. This used Panasonic model is one of the first RobotWorx robots sold overseas.
The company, Fanalca, S.A., is an assembly plant located in Cali, Columbia. They build Honda motorcycles for the domestic market. This is the first welding robot they have installed.
